Perfectly said, as always, Jim.
We’ll miss you. Piercing insight is not a common thing; rarer still is the ability to express thoughts in writing so that others may get an accurate sense of exactly what you are thinking. You, however, possess not just one, but both, of these traits.
Thanks for the contribution – sharing this space with you and your “common sense” has been a privilege.

Jim,
Nice work, I looked forward to reading your posts as much for the content as your writing ability. All very provocative. Thank you for helping us process through this issue in new ways. I cringe at some of the responses I wrote, so you’re not alone there. Testament to the difficulty of finding clear solutions and the general messiness of processing real time I suppose.
Much love to you and yours,
Chris

“Yes, James, both of those things are true. I will be certain to point out similar examples from the left… nothing would make me happier.”

Great Jim, I’ll keep checking back from time to time to see how that’s going. This might help get you started:

“And while you’re correct that there’s plenty of substantive criticism on the right, it is also true that many of those providing it are being criticized by the far more popular Beck/Limbaugh/Hannity wing for not being conservative enough.”

So… there IS substantive criticism after all, but “such and such” is critical of it. Could I move you even further by pointing out that you can find a critic for everything?

Peace,

Comment on How Much is $11.6 Trillion, Really? by Sandy

This reminds me of another earlier post to this site which informed us that, while efforts aimed at getting more non-Caucasions into college (much less MBA programs, which is the focus of Management Leadership for Tomorrow if I understand correctly) are worthy causes, we actually need to start much earlier. If I recall, the stress of living at poverty levels actually affects the brain and the ability for a child to learn – making it far less likely that they’ll ever benefit from the extra money waiting for them when/if they finish high school. So much for equal opportunity, huh? Wonder how many trillions are being spent (or not) on getting children out of poverty . .

Thanks Victor!
And regarding democracy, I don’t know. The Founding Fathers did actually foresee extreme outliers in their new vision for governance, with some becoming extremely wealthy and some extremely poor. They sought not equal “things” for all people, i.e. a redistribution of wealth so that all would have equal shares, but rather equal “opportunities” for all.
To your point though, if 1% really does have 90% as Moore’s film claims, then surely it cannot be reasonably concluded that everyone does indeed have equal opportunities, can it? There has to be an unfair advantage for someone in there somewhere! If only Google could produce a heat map of “individuals or entities with unfair advantage,” I’m certain it would have huge epicenters over Washington, D.C. and New York, NY.

Tom I saw the show on CNN about this organizaiton. What a great way to invest in the future of our country. Your analysis now has me wanting to see Michael Moore’s new movie. He claims 1% of Americans control 90% of the wealth. That is not democracy!
